About this property

Sea Views and Walk to the Beach! 2 Bedrooms/1 Bath/Full Kitchen

A 5 minute walk to a 3.5 mile beach, the 2 Bedroom/1 Bath Boathouse is on the second floor above the Garage/Boathouse. Sweeping views of the Exuma Sound and fresh breezes make this a great vacation spot to share with friends.

Fully furnished and complete with: Towels and Linens, Beach Gear, Grill, Screened Porch, Sun Deck, Gourmet Cooking tools for the Full Kitchen (complete with ice-maker!), Shared use of Kayaks and Bicycles. Maps and Guides to local spots.

Curl up in the Hammock with a cold drink and a book. Take your fishing pole out to the bight and catch your dinner, then bring it back to the fish cleaning station and BBQ an evening of fresh seafood. Or ask us to get some fresh fish for you and have it prepared while you just relax. Kayak out to the nearby Cays for a morning of snorkeling. Or just pull up a beach chair and enjoy the water.

Long Island is one of the most unique islands in the Bahamas. For many people, it is considered the hidden Bahamas. On the northern tip there are dramatic sea cliffs overlooking the dark blue water where Columbus anchored the Santa Maria when he discovered the island in 1492. The beaches are incredible. Talcum-powder fine white sand and crushed pink and brown shell cover some of the most stunning beaches in the Bahamas. The water is clear, warm, and turquoise blue. From hillside perches, where cool trade winds blow, you can look down to stretches of spectacular coast and water so pristine you can see multiple shades of blue in the depths of the ocean. Yet this island has much more to offer than its natural beauty; it is safe, easily accessible by air, close to the United States, and home to friendly English-speaking locals.

If you have any special requests please let us know. If you need some groceries, beer, liquor or soda we'd be happy to pick that up for you so it will be ready upon like a nice cold drink after a day of travelling.

Same thing with arrangements for Rental Cars, Fishing guides, !!! We are here to take the mystery out of Long Island so you can have a stress-free stay and pack in as much fun as possible while you are here.


Don't miss the opportunity to explore Long Island, which is the most attractive of all the Bahamas out islands, with quaint settlements dotted between gentle rolling hills. Here nature is still unspoiled. Historical sites remind us of the interesting past and where people are amongst the friendliest in the Bahamas. This is the perfect spot for a Bahamas vacation of a lifetime!

Mike & Debbie J.

We just got back from a fantastic visit to Long Is

This is a great island to do as much or little as you like. Mike had an amazing time fly fishing. He learned a lot, from his guide Dwayne Knowles, who was really reasonable. After the first day of fishing, he came back raving how “it was crazy, there were herds of them”. You can drive to experience the many lovely beaches and sites or enjoy the superb beach just a ways from the Palmirage Boat House. We highly recommend eating at Tiny’s Beach Bar, run by Michele and Jason. We enjoyed the freshly caught fish and delicious Key Lime pie, but there were lots of good selections from which to choose. We were warmly welcomed by Dan and Sarah and immediately made to feel at home. The locals and winter residents were also welcoming and friendly. This is a place and experience you will want to enjoy each year, creating and recreating lasting memories. Thank you, Sarah and Dan, for a wonderful visit!

Fantastic stay!

Sara and Dan really set up a beautiful spot on top of their boathouse. It is a well maintained space with all kitchen/cooking needs to cook your own meals. They also provide snorkeling gear, beach gear, etc which was fantastic to have for our use. We normally stay north but being mid island really was the perfect spot to get to both ends of the island. Long Island is a dream!

Absolutely Fantastic! It had everything you don't even know you need!

My husband and I were so impressed with all the work Sara and Dan put into their rental to make sure you didn't need anything to make your trip incredible! We loved riding the bikes down to what felt like your own private beach! And we so enjoyed the ease of having the sea kayaks right there to put in the water and not have to haul them anywhere. Their place was stocked with everything you would need to cook and their grill was an incredible added bonus! Sara went and got groceries for us since we were arriving later on a Sunday and were heading out the next morning on an adventure. She also had local goodies she collected, like bananas and papaya, which were delicious! We had plenty of snorkeling gear to choose from and plenty of beach towels. When my husband inquired about fishing gear, they set us up with whatever we needed! The little cooler they had worked perfect for our beach excursions and we loved the beach chairs! The views were spectacular from the great porch area~loved to sit out and watch the sunrise and sunsets! They also had a fabulous supply of bug sprays and sunscreens to use. I loved their book on the office table that gave you the history of the island and all the restaurants with phone numbers. All in all, it was very impressive and we were so thankful for all the added touches and amenities! We will highly recommend Sara and Dan's place~it was so relaxing and fun!

TreeTop Paradise

We were fortunate to find this beautiful Boathouse last minute and it was quite a find!!! It was everything we never realized we needed. Clean, spacious, well stocked with necessities (small appliances, linens, maps and info about this fabulous island) and an amazing kitchen and outdoor grill! From your first cup of coffee watching the sun come up to the evening cocktail as the sun sets...this place has it all. The views over the treetops from the spacious deck are amazing! A short stroll down the road reveals a most beautiful beach. The water is an unbelievable crystal clear blue. Chairs and kayaks are provided for you and if you bring a cooler (also available) you have everything you need for a great relaxing beach day. Sara and Dan have definitely dialed in to everything needed to make this a great vacation. They are residents of the Long Island and are a wealth of knowledge. The Boathouse offers privacy, great views, clean and spacious indoor and out with beautiful Caribbean views. Thanx for making our time on Long Island so uncomplicated and memorable.

About the host

Hosted by Sara Werra

Host profile image
Originally from Wisconsin (way back when!(GoPackGo!!)) Dan and Sara met in Chicago working in the Hospitality industry together. We set sail from Chicago in the fall of 1995 and haven't looked back since. We love sharing the uniqueness of Long Island, The Bahamas with all visitors every year for the "season". Summer months are spent back in the hospitality business, currently enjoying our jobs in West Yellowstone, MT.

Why they chose this property

Dan and Sara (us!) traveled to the Bahamas first by sailboat in 1996. We eventually found and fell in love with Long Island. It just felt like "home" with the fabulous people and calming vibe. In 2001 we purchased our first piece of property and began construction of our home in 2003, building it by ourselves during our summers off of work in the Florida Keys. We completed our home in 2006 and built our first Guest House in 2007/8 (The Cottage). In 2014 we purchased additional land and while designing our garage/boathouse we decided to add an 'apartment' above. We look forward to sharing The Boathouse with you!

What makes this property unique

The views of Exuma Sound from the Boathouse are beautiful and full of fresh breezes and amazing sunsets. A covered patio houses the grill and dining table, along with comfy chairs to sit in with your morning coffee listening to the birds, or a Sundowner cocktail in the evenings while catching the sunset. We also have the perfect spot to sit in the sun and swing in a hammock, while being close enough to the house to get your drinks delivered! A 5-minute walk with take you to Sunset Beach, where you can kayak, swim, float or sunbathe. Snorkel gear is available to check out the cays off shore.
